DOROTHY, like Blondie and DAUGHTRY before them, is a group, not a person. Nevertheless, it’s clear that Dorothy Martin is the driving force of the L.A.-based quartet: she’s not only the namesake, she’s the singer and the star around which the other members rotate. Due to landing a contract with Jay-Z’s Roc Nation, the modernized-blues rock group — they split the difference between the Black Keys at their most electronica and the full-throated wail of Adele — became a hot pick to click in the mid-2010s, with their 2015 digital EP serving as a teaser for their 2016 full-length.
DOROTHY was built around Dorothy Martin, a singer who was born in Budapest but raised in San Diego. She began working with guitarist Mark Jackson and producer Ian Scott in 2013, and soon DOROTHY formed with Martin, Jackson, bassist Gregg Cash, and drummer Zac Morris. The summer of 2014 brought the single “After Midnight,” which quickly gained traction on social media, and an eponymous EP followed in the fall of 2014. The EP earned attention from L.A. Weekly and Rolling Stone — the latter named DOROTHY one of the 50 Best New Artists of 2014. All this chatter was enough to earn the attention of Jay-Z’s Roc Nation, and in the summer of 2015, the band signed to the imprint.
With 11 songs spanning 35 minutes, Rockisdead is an impressive debut album featuring fuzzed out garage rock tunes. Opener “Kiss” has echoes of Lenny Kravitz’s “Are You Gonna Go my Way”; “Dark Night” that bluesy-swamp rock feel The Black Keys would approve; and “Wicked Ones” with the sing-along “ah ah ah..” call-and-response chorus is an earworm you can’t shake until too much whiskey has knocked you out cold.
“After Midnight” boasts Black Sabbath-big guitar riffs matched only by Martin’s skyrocketing vocals. It’s high wattage, sometimes too high causing a blinding glare but it’s the stuff that Martin thrives on.
